PATENT OFFICE. f

EDMUND PAUL EHRLINGER, OF .VIANESVILLE XVISCONSN.

fR-INTER@ GAL'LEY.`

i vlApplication filed lJuly V26,

T0 all whom it may,oonccriift Be it known that I, EDMUND "P. EHR-LiNGnii, citizen of the United States, and resident of Janesville, inthe county ofRock and State ot Wisconsiinhave invented certain`vnew'iand useful vImprovements in Printers Galleys; and I do herebydeclare that thefolloiving is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof.

This invention relates to printers" galleys. Y g

Heretotore, in placing advertising mat ter or other insertions in -formswhich have been practically made up, it has been the custom to loosenthe side and t'oot sticks ot the chase pending the arrival ot' theinsertion. lVlien the insertion is received, it is usually pickedup, aline at a time, and placed in the space left for it in the chase.

In printing, time is at a premium and these operations requiring lasthey do a inaterial length of time and considerable skill on ythe partofthev make up man, are fre-` quently the cause of delay and error in ar'-rangement of the parts ot' the insertion and adjacent parts of thepreviously set up type.

This invention is designed to overcome the above noted defects,andobjects of such invention are to provide a printers galley which`insures the easier, quicker, and more certain placing of the insertionWithin the chase after the page of type has been practically made up,whichl is 4adapted to have the insertion slid from v either end thereof,and which is preferably formed of a Width correspondingr to the actualwidth of column space left in the partially set up chase.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, inAwhich :d

Figure l is a plan view of the galley.

y Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line 2-2 of Figurel;`

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional View onv the line 3 3 of Figure l.

,The galley comprises a main or body portion'having a bottom l and sides2. This body portion is open at its ends and is in eifect an elongatedchannel.

4An end 3 of any suitable material is provided and is adapted to fitbetweenthe sides 2, This end is riveted or otherwise secured to inturnedarms 4 ofsupporting side straps 5. Theseside straps form in effect linksand 1924. VSerial No. 728,455;

are pivoted by means of the Vrivets or simi lar members 6 to the centralportion of the sides 2 of the body member. Preferably ythe extreme endsof the sides 2 ot' the main inember aresli'ghtly rounded, as may be seenfrom Figure 2,' so as to tacilitate'the rocking of the end 3, intoeither position at either of the ends of the galley. It is to be notedfurther that the end 3 rests upon the bottom or overlaps the bottom ofthe main member and thus prevents such end from being swung downwardlypast the main member.

It is to be noted that the inner heads of each oi` theseveral rivets arecountersunl: and set flush With the inner surface of the galley.

It is rintended that these galleys shall be made of the exact columnWidth desired, for instance, one, two, three or any number oir columnwidths.

In using this device, the insertion is prepared in the galley in theusual manner and is sent to the printer. The printer, as is usually thecustom, has the chase or page practically set up With a spaceI left forthe insertion. The make-up man merely roc rs the end to the desiredposition to permit the vsliding of the insertion from the galley intoYthe chase.

The vfreedom ot' choice as to direction of sliding permits a very greatflexibility in the assembling of the insertion Within the partially setuptype, and does not require theipicking of the insertion line by linefrom the galley, and the placing ot' such lines separately intothechase.

Further, it will be noted that due to the fact that the galley is madeof the actual Width of the space .left for it, it may be placed inposition and the insertion slid from it. It is further to be noted thatthe reversibility ofthe end of the galley provides increased iiexibilityin the actual assembling of the ad or insertion for the reason that theinsertion may be started at one end of the galley and it it is desiredto Work from the other end, this may be easilyk accommodate-d byreversing the end of the galley and partially sliding the set typeinwardly; Thereafter, theother end of the insertion may be .partiallyformed, it desired, and the two parts slid together into position. Thiskmay not be called under ordinary type setting conditions but may befound highly desirable in easily positioning` outs, blocks and otherinserts made Within the insertion itself.

Further it is to be noted that the de- Viee is extremely simple and maybe cheaply produced and is free from complicated oonstruetion,projecting ears, adjusting screws, and other detrimental features.

Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, it isto be understood ,e that the invention may be variously einbodied andis, therefore, to be limit-ed only as claimed.

I Claim:

l. A printers galley comprising a body having` a bottom and upturnedsides, an end member, and means secured to said end member and pivotallyjoined to the Central position of said body.

2. A printers galley Comprisinga body having a bottom and upturnedsides, a pair of vleve-rs pivotally joined .to the central portion ofsaid sides, and an end member carried by the outer end of said leversand adapted to fit Within the body and rest upon the bottom thereof.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand atJanesville, in the county of Rook and State of fiseonsin.
